Description:
The Sychev (1960) analysis for inviscid hypersonic flow past slender bodies at large angle of attack is shown to be applicable to all slender-body flows whose crossflow Mach numbers are greater than sonic; it is therefore not restricted to flows with hypersonic crossflow Mach number values, as indicated elsewhere in the literature. It is also noted that the Sychev similarity applies to a number of slender-body flows with subsonic crossflow Mach numbers, including incompressible flow.
